This is the way to clear a path through a jungle of traffic - with a 21ft crocodile on the roof!

The killer croc brought traffic to a standstill in Manila, Philippines, but all was not what it seemed.

This was Longlong, a giant robot crocodile on its way to Pasay City Crocodile Park.

The $2,000 fibreglass and rubber model is a tribute to "Lolong" the world's largest saltwater crocodile in captivity who died last year.

Back on the ground, park staff climb inside and use pedals to make the lifelike swamp monster crawl, open its mouth and move its head.

Built by artists Juvy Bangut and Jessie Suerte, Longlong made its dramatic way to the Crocodile Park through the streets of Manila on the roof of a bus. No room on top for any passengers, thank goodness!
